The 1999 Chassagne-Montrachet Vide Bourse has flowers, spices, minerals, talcum powder, and almonds in its aromatics. Medium-bodied and detailed, this is a lovely citrus, perfume, and floral-flavored wine. It is harmonious, refined, and has a crystalline, pure, and long finish. Projected maturity: 2002-2009.
